The Summer of Funny
The History of Stand-Up Comedy
Ritch is taking the show on the road, but he needs to work some of the material before he does. This workshop production is absolutely FREE to attend!
Ritch Shydner’s funny and insightful multi-media presentation about the history of an original American art form, stand-up comedy, and what all the jokes and laughter say about America. The stories of forgotten trailblazers, martyred iconoclasts and familiar stars show how the simple act of one joker taking on a crowd became one of our most popular entertainments, and a cultural weathervane.
Talk-back afterward!
Tickets: FREE
Date: September 18 at 8pm

Produce a Show with Us
We're excited to launch a new program at Attic Salt - The Studio Series. The Studio Series is an opportunity for novice directors and producers to mount shows while getting guidance and fiscal assistance from mentors at Attic Salt. These shows will range from readings to performance art to full-length shows. If you have a show you are interested in producing, and would like to get more information about this apprenticeship program, please contact Jeff Catanese at Jeff@atticsalt.org.
